619: The Ugly Truth About Succession Planning: What No One Tells Firm Owners with Phillip Ross of Anchin

Business of Architecture Podcast

Succession planning—it’s one of the biggest decisions an architecture firm owner will ever make. In this episode, we sit down with CPA and succession planning expert Phillip Ross to explore the key financial and strategic moves every firm should consider when planning their transition. Whether you’re thinking of selling, passing the baton internally, or exploring other options, this conversation uncovers insights most firm owners overlook.

We also discuss how to maximize the value of your firm, the critical mistake that can drastically reduce your payout, and why some firms struggle to transition leadership successfully. With years of experience advising architecture, engineering, and construction businesses, Phillip shares what separates firms that thrive post-transition from those that flounder.

• Why waiting too long to plan could cost you more than you realize.
• The surprising advantage of a growing trend in firm ownership transitions.
• One simple step that can keep top talent from walking away at the worst possible time.
